Dramatic Social Media Move
Phillip Schofield has made a shocking move on social media, unfollowing his former best friend Holly Willoughby on Instagram. This comes as Holly prepares to attend the National Television Awards (NTAs) without Phillip by her side for the first time since their fallout.
Sealing the End of Their Friendship
The decision to unfollow Holly on Instagram seems to solidify the end of their once unbreakable friendship. While Phillip, 61, still follows Holly's beloved sister Kelly, Holly still follows Phillip for now. However, this recent move may indicate that they are officially moving on from each other.
A New Partnership
Since their fallout, Holly has been partnered with Alison Hammond on This Morning. The pair have been hosting the show together for the past two days, and tonight, Holly will be supporting Alison at the NTAs as she competes for the Best Presenter award.
Snubbed for Best Presenter
Despite being ITV's "golden girl," Holly has been overlooked in the Best Presenter category for the past two years. This adds to the anticipation surrounding her appearance at the NTAs, as fans will see how she handles attending the event without her former TV partner.
An Investigation Underway
The fallout between Holly and Phillip occurred after he admitted to lying about a six-month affair with a younger male colleague. Holly has since been cooperating with an independent investigation into the scandal. ITV's managing director Kevin Lygo stated that the investigator, Jane Mulcahy KC, has been speaking to everyone involved and examining their electronic communications.
Regret and Apologies
In his first interview addressing the scandal, Phillip expressed regret over his actions and admitted to losing his best friend. He acknowledged letting Holly down, as well as the viewers and the show itself. He emphasized that Holly had no knowledge of the affair and that any claims connecting her to it are untrue. Phillip understands that she needs to step back from the situation for her own well-being.
Fractured Relationship
The friendship between Holly and Phillip had already been strained following the conviction of Phillip's brother for child sex offences. They attempted to continue working together, but it ultimately became an untenable situation. Despite Phillip's insistence that they had not fallen out, the recent move to unfollow Holly on Instagram suggests otherwise.
An Uncertain Future
As Holly prepares for the NTAs, Phillip's telly career hangs in the balance. He was recently spotted looking downcast outside a pub in Chiswick, fueling speculation about the future of his on-screen presence.
